Day 1: Contributor Day

WordCamp is a two-day conference that took place on November 1st and 2nd. Contributor Day was held on the 1st, it was an informal and relaxed day where you can meet, share and contribute ideas with other WordPress users. It would also give you the opportunity to contribute to WordPress. With all the important contributors within the community, you can really get down and going.

Day 2: Conference Day

This year WordCamp KL brought in some wonderful speakers from all over the world, who are experienced and an expert in WordPress.

Some of the speakers were Matthew Knighton who was the host and also the speaker, Mayuko Moriyama from Japan, Cesar Tardaguila from Spain, Shaan Nicol, Leonardo Losoviz, etc

During the conference day, it starts at 8:00am and ends at around 5:45pm. The registration was open for one hour, from 8 until 9am which volunteers assisted to help us, like giving name tags, t- shirts and stickers to the participants. There were two tracks for the talks so participants can pick and choose which talk they want to join. 

Furthermore, a total of 17 talks were available for all the participants that came, some of the speakers title were “Create Once, Publish Everywhere with WordPress” by Leonardo Losoviz, Sanjay Willie talk “WordPress CLI in depth” and much more. Each talk was around 30 minutes and there were questions and answers session with the speaker after their talk. 

During break time the participants have time to walk around outside the hall to have a look at exhibitors booths opened by the sponsors. Coffee and tea was also provided during break time, to keep you refreshed and awake. We also made lots of new friends with similar interests in WordPress and the tech world
